On this blog post, I am educating you on how to treat some of this diseases. Diseases like anemia, crises, swelling hands and feet, infections and delayed growth.

1 Anemia. One reason sickle cell anemia sufferers always look anemic is that most of their red blood cells are sickled and have a very short lifespan. Their lifespan is shorter than the normal red blood cell lifespan And because these sickled red blood cells die early the body is let with less amount of red blood. And since the body is left with less amount of red blood cells the sufferer becomes anemic.

Crises can be treated with pain reliever drugs and these drugs should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. Severe pains can only be treated in the hospital with infusion, blood transfusion combined with drugs.

The best way to avoid crises in the life of any person suffering from sickle cell disease is to hydrate that person always.

4 Frequent infections. Because their immune system is low, people living with Sickle cells anemia are vulnerable to diseases. There is an organ in the body called spleen that helps the body to fight diseases if the organ is damage due to lack of oxygen the person is bound to fall sick aways. The best way to handle this is to give the person some vaccinations That will be helpful to that person. The person should drink water always to help the body transport oxygen and nutrients throughout the body and flush out all the dead red blood cells in the blood vessels.

5 Delayed growth. Without nutrient,s the body will not function well and there will be growth delayed. It is the responsibility of the Red blood cells to provide the body with the right nutrients and since the body is lacking in a healthy red blood cell, there is bound to be delayed in growth. To handle this problem the person suffering from sickle cell anemia should eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. Especially the fruits and vegetables that contain zinc.

People living with sickle cell anemia are advice to eat more. They should eat more that the normal three times a day.
